Hollande's French Nightmare literally!

Anger is rising in France due to Msr Holland's plans to cut wages increase working hours and reduce overtime pay. A new popular movement is spreading across France in opposition to the austerity measures calling itself Rise Up At Night.

The movement says the government is destroying the hopes and aspirations of the young. A combination of factors on top of the working hours measure has served to fuel the anger on the streets like a chronic lack of affordable housing for young people.

For over a fortnight the movement has orchestrated protests in central Paris against the imposition of the measures. There are daily stand offs and skimishing between police and protesters who use pepper spays against the rioters who throw anything they can get their hands on in response.

The wave of angry protests were initially against the proposed draconian labour reforms but following government concessions like a €400million package to placate angry young protesters

President Holland's government is emerging badly from the backlash its policies have provoked.Holland's claimed the reforms are his governments response to try to tackle record unemployment in France especially among youth who are particularly hard hit.

However the imposition of a proposed 35 hour working week waspercieved as Frances socialist administration going much too far. Recent opinion polls in the country indicate that as high a figure as 76% of people there want to see Hollande quit by 2017.
